“A brisk style and an edgy rhythm…the actors seem to enjoy their showy roles, especially Mr. Bates...and Mr. Hoskins brings his customary conviction to the role of the feisty priest.” – Janet Maslin, The New York Times
“Mike Hodges directs this interesting screen adaptation of the best-selling thriller by Jack Higgins…a cut above other recent entries into the genre because it ambitiously muses on the difficulty once violent men have ridding themselves of the mark of … mehrCain.” – Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality & Practice
Director Mike Hodges’ adaptation of the Jack Higgins thriller, A Prayer for the Dying (1987), focuses on a former IRA terrorist (Mickey Rourke) forced into killing a mobster in order to walk away from a lifetime of violence. Bob Hoskins co-stars as the priest who may offer him redemption, with Alan Bates as a flamboyant London crime lord who’s had enough of both IRA man and man of God.
